What is BMI and Why Is It Important?
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a quick way to assess if your weight is healthy for your height. It’s calculated by dividing your weight by your height squared and is categorized into underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.
Understanding your BMI can help you gauge your overall health and assess your risk for issues like heart disease or diabetes. While it doesn’t account for muscle mass or body composition, BMI offers a useful starting point for tracking your health.
